Kernewek Original
(translated by Dr Ken George) (by Edward Caswall)

Mir, yn mysk an ergh yma
Genys dhyn y'n norvys ma
Omdhiskwedhys yw an Oen,
Gwrys an ambos koth ragon

See, amid the winter snow,
Born for us on earth below;
See, the gentle Lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years

Myttinweyth vennigys, hayl!
Bora an Dasprenans, hayl!
Dre Yerusalem kenewgh,
Krist yn Bethlem genys yw!

Hail, O ever-blessed morn!
Hail, redemption's happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem:
'Christ is born in Bethlehem!'

Ott, yn presep yma Ev
Neb a wrug an ster yn nev,
Usi war Y dron a-vann,
Hag yn mysk an eledh splann

Low within a manger lies
He who built the starry skies;
He who, throned in height sublime,
Reigns above the cherubim

Myttinweyth vennigys, hayl!
Bora an Dasprenans, hayl!
Dre Yerusalem kenewgh,
Krist yn Bethlem genys yw!

Hail, O ever-blessed morn!
Hail, redemption's happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem:
'Christ is born in Bethlehem!'

Kowsewgh dhyn, bugeledh vas,
Pyth yw an nowodhow mas?
Prag y hessowgh agas gre
Devesigow war an vre?

Say, you humble shepherds, say
What's your joyful news today
Tell us why you've left your sheep
On the lonely mountain steep

Myttinweyth vennigys, hayl!
Bora an Dasprenans, hayl!
Dre Yerusalem kenewgh,
Krist yn Bethlem genys yw!

Hail, O ever-blessed morn!
Hail, redemption's happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem:
'Christ is born in Bethlehem!'

Pan woelyn yn kres an nos,
Gwelsyn golow, klywes tros,
"Kres y'n bys" o kan an lu;
"Genys yw Selwador dhywgh"

'As we watched at dead of night,
All around us shone a light;
Angels singing peace on Earth
Told us of a Saviour's birth.'

Myttinweyth vennigys, hayl!
Bora an Dasprenans, hayl!
Dre Yerusalem kenewgh,
Krist yn Bethlem genys yw!

Hail, O ever-blessed morn!
Hail, redemption's happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem:
'Christ is born in Bethlehem!'

Unnvab Dyw, A Fleghik sans,
Ass o krev ha hweg Dha hwans
A Baradhis dos dhe'n bys
Selwel da ha drog keffrys

Sacred infant, king most dear,
What a tender love was here,
Thus to come from highest bliss
Down to such a world as this!

Myttinweyth vennigys, hayl!
Bora an Dasprenans, hayl!
Dre Yerusalem kenewgh,
Krist yn Bethlem genys yw!

Hail, O ever-blessed morn!
Hail, redemption's happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem:
'Christ is born in Bethlehem!'

Dysk dhyn ni, A Fleghik mas,
Dre an hwarder yn Dha fas,
Bos hevelep Orthis sy,
Bykken y'th uvelder jy

Holy Saviour, born on earth,
Teach us by your lowly birth;
Grant that we may ever be
Taught by such humility

Myttinweyth vennigys, hayl!
Bora an Dasprenans, hayl!
Dre Yerusalem kenewgh,
Krist yn Bethlem genys yw!

Hail, O ever-blessed morn!
Hail, redemption's happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem:
'Christ is born in Bethlehem!'
